Did A Little Caching Yesterday..........



with Larry and Audrey at the Milo McIver State Park near Estacada, OR. Nice day, warm and sunny and we saw another nice Oregon park that has a campground. Have to file it away as a nice quiet area where we can park the M/H for a few days.


Sunday we drove into Vancouver and found Doug working on his new Rhino, Tami and the Twerps were off to a birthday party and we never saw them. Yesterday Larry took us on a little tour of one of his caching areas...........he had already found the caches in the park and watched as we stumbled along, giving us hints when he could remember where the caches were hidden. Outside the park we found a historic Little Red Schoolhouse, last used about 1939 and since restored. It was complete with the little red outhouse out back. We revisited the Original Stash Cache, the spot where geocaching started back in 2000, took a few pictures of the plaque and displayed our geocoins which were given to us by "Jeep'en Jumpers", a frustrated cacher in Yuma who is presently swealtering in triple digit heat!!! Becky needed a picture taken of her walking stick "Frankinbears" at the holy shrine.


Remainder of the pictures show some of our caching finds. We met two old farts at the Original Stash Cache and shot the breeze with them for a while. One, "Old Grouch" was from Iowa and his friend "Tincuphunter" was a local Oregon cacher. We had crossed paths with them several times during the day. Becky will take a picture of anything...............she found a humongous, dead, timber rattlesnake that she took a picture of...........at least I think it was a gigantic timber rattler, although it could have been a garden snake.


Super nice day!!! W&B
